The Buckaroo Tavern's defunct, as of closing time tonight. According to the Buckaroo—where it's very busy right now, being full of mourners already (though if you telephone, they still have time to call you "honey")—the landlords chose not to renew the lease and are installing a restaurant of their own. The Buckaroo's owners are looking for a new space for a reincarnation.

The Buckaroo's been bucking since 1938. With a week's notice, they would make you a birthday cake. Go and drink and pay your respects to Fremont's great, soon-to-be-late dive.
